The heir-head, 31, has been branded “homophobic and derogatory” due to a rant she unleashed in the back of a taxi against gay people.

There was definitely no brain engaged (is there ever?) as she was secretly recorded in a New York cab talking about the gay hook-up app Grindr.

She said: “Gay guys are the horniest people in the world. They’re disgusting. Dude, most of them probably have Aids. I would be so scared if I were a gay guy. You’ll, like, die of Aids.”

No, Paris. No. Unsurprisingly, everyone’s been pretty offended by her comments, which has forced her to back-pedal furiously.

A Hilton spokesman said: “Paris’s comments were to express that it is dangerous for anyone to have unprotected sex that could lead to a life-threatening disease. It was not her intent to make any derogatory comments about all gays.

“Paris is a huge supporter of the gay community and would never purposefully make any negative statements about sexual orientation.”
